WashingtOn's Cat d Ictor.

There i, cat doctor who runs drug
store in Washington who, it is said ia
doing the most thriving practice of any
pllcviator of the ills of the feline and
canine races of any man in his profession
in the whole country. This physician
has the highest class OF callers of any
professional man in the city, as only the
most aristocratic can afford to have an
expert wait upon their pets. A: times
as many as three or four carriages owned
by the most refined and wealthy people
1T the national capital, are drawn up IN
front of the drug store and Office. and
his business is SO large that customers
with their patients have to wait their
turns, like men in barber shops. II is
eel ION that man enters the drug store
Or Office for the purpose Of receiving q
professional call from the doctor. They
are almost invariably women.
The doctor was philosophizing yester
dav to some gentlemen on the general
ais of cats and dogs, during which he
stated that more trouble came from a
lack of fresh air and exercise than any
thing else He especially deprecated
the fact that these household pets were
guarded so closely in the house, and
were not allowed to romp around like
children.
81 could NAME" he said, "families in
this city tina, guard as closely their cats
and dogs as they do their children.
Large numbers o. them have cribs and
cradles and lounges made for their pets,
and cushioned in the most comfortable
manner possible. At one place visited
recently found fine old Maltese
reclining on pillow of down. When
asked for it for the purpose of making
an examination the lady of the house
lifted it as carefully as if it was a tiny
babe. She had delicate spoons and
forceps and a doche to inject medicine
into the poor thing cars. There was a
swab of silk and cotton to cleanse its
throat, as it had had something like
diptheria, and when Ispoke of severe
medicine as the only hope for recovery
she threw up her hands in that
same horror mothers do when extreme
measures are to he resorted to to save
their children"

An Important Decision.

A case came before Judge Barnard, OF
New York, which is interesting to $50,
600 Knights of Honor in America.
Magdalena Keppler, Executrix of Adam
Macht, sued the order, the central Office
Of which is in Missouri, for 81, 200. A
few years ago Macht, who was u mem
Der of a Knight of Honor lodge in this
city, secured a certificate of insurance
from the lodge, which, in case of his
death, would be worth $1,000. Some
time after that Macht died, and the only
one of the family left was Maglalena
keppler. Before his death Macht made
a will bequeathing all his property to
Magdalena, whe was his step-daughter.
She having paid several assessments up
on the certificate, after Macht's death
she made demand for the $1,000 and
it was refused on the ground that in it
she had not been named as the bene-
ficlary, as provided for in the bylaws of
the organization. The evidence showed
that before his death Macht told the
Secretary of the lodge that he had made
awlll giving all his property, including
the certificate, to Mag,lalcna. 1t show
ed that the Secretary of the lodge re-
celved the certificate from Macht with
tins knowledge and failed to forward it
to the Grand Secretary with the neces-
sary explanation to show that the name
OF OF the beneficiary ought TO be changed.
The defence was that Macht did not
name Ill the certificate to whom he
wanted the money TO so, and that ac-
eeordlng to the bylaws of the organiza-
uon failure to do SO causes the money
70 be credited to the Widows and Or
Rhans' fund of the organization. Judge
barnard decided that the designation in
The will of the plaintiff as n beneficiary
was sufficient, that she has a right to
the certificate as legatee, and that she
comes within the term of "heir" as used
IN the constitution and bylaws.

A Blast Against Beer.

For some years decided inch.
nation has been apparent all over
the country to give up the use OF
whisky and other strong alcshols,
using as a substitute beer and otker
compounds. This is evidently
founded on the lea that beer is
not harmful, and contains a large
amount of nutTlment (; also that
bitters may have some medical
quality which will neutrallze the
alcohol which it conceals, etc.
These theories are without con-
hSmation in the observation of
physl clans. The use OF beer IS
found 20 produce u species of de-
generation Of all the organs pros
found and deceptive fatty deposits,
diminished circulation, condition
Of congestion and perversion of
functional activities, local infia-
nation Of both the liver and
Kidneys, ate constan thy present.
Intellectual y stupor amounting
almost TO paralysis arrests the
reason, changing all the higher fac
ulties into a mere animalism, sen,
sual, Sc fish, sluggish, varied, and
with parox,sms Of anger that are
senseless and brutal. In appear
ance the beer-drlnker may be the
picture If health, put in reality he
is most incapable of resisting dis
ease. A sight injury, a severe
cold or shock to the body or mind
will commonly provoke acute dis
ease ending fatally.
Compared with inehrlates who
use different kinds of alcohol, he is
more incurable and more generally
diseased. The constant use xf'beer
every day gives the system no re-
euperaticn, bat steadily lowers the
vital forces. 1t is our observation
that beer-drinking IN this country
produces the very lowest kind OF |
Inebrety, 81, sely allied to criminal
insanity. The most dan gsrc Us
If rufliRns in our CITY are beer

A War Of w lords.

The Memphis Avalanche anC
Appeal have, for ssver raj days, been
engaged in war of words over the
Hadden affair. David P. Hadlen
is president of the Memphis city
government, called a Taxing Dis
trict.' 1t appears that President
MADDEN in the administration of the
Taxing District affairs had used
funds for purposes other than those
fer which they had been collected.
, And that he had let contracts con-
traIy to law Mr.. Hadden has been
indicted in the criminal court for
these hlgh~handsd proceedings. The
Appeal and many citizens of Mem
pnis claim that the violations were
merely technical. That Mr.. Hadden
has been an upright, honest official
That he has never appropriated any
funds to his own use. That the ac-
tiOns for which he has been indicted
were committed i'll the interest and
welfare of the city. That money
being short in one department,
funds were borrowed from another
that was full, and that his pfosecu-
ton is an organized conspiracy t O
overthrow him. The Appeal clalms
that HRdden's hone> ty and firmness
has kept the treasury from beng
despoilsd by lot of fellows who
had been accustomed to do 50,
And that these fellows are enraged,
and desire to overthrow Hadder:
that they are seeking to do 1t by
securing hs convection on those
technical hreaC hes of the law The
Avalanche claims that it is very
wrong in principle to establish pre-
cedent by which succeeding officials !
might violate the laws of the taxing
dist riot with impunity: That Judge |
Hadden is no betle or than any ether !
individual, AMI that If he is guilty
OF v,olating The law, he ought 70
suffer its penalties. That it is
wrong to degrade the criminal court
by asserting that it's indictments are
prompted by an organized ring to
put HaddeU down. This clash be
tween the Appea and Avalanche-
has grown bitter AMI mure bitter
until it has degsnerated into per-
Qualities and undetermined in
"inmations of bribery and dishonesty
Of course this calls into question the
sincerity and honor of the resectIve
editors of each paper. So netting
must be explained or retracted; #
rot, the sequel will likely be more
serious than hard hit fight Of
words. 1t IS worry plain that the
Appeal first INDUCED in the sling
OF dirty mud, for which 1t ought to
be ashamed. The Bulletins idea
is that the law ought to have its
course, and If MADDEN has abused
The power Of his high office, he
ought to be punished and not shields
I'd.

THE EDITOR OF THE NATION
AL REVTE " COMMENTS ON
THE RECENT VOTE FUR
AND AGAINST THE
PROHIBITION 4
NENDMENT.

The Politicians Will be Puzzled.
The one thing which, aside from the
large prohibition vote, which will most
puzzle the politicians in Tennessee next
year is he fact that at least tNo-thirds of
the white people who voted ia the recent
election vote Il for prohibition, and that
eleven tw1lfthS of the colored voters voted
against il. 1t is safe to say that had not
tIe cSlored people vsted at all, the amend
ment wsuld have been adopted by a least
$4,000 maj ,ri:y. Nor can it with tru tn
be said ia It tas vote of the colorsd pee
pie was eorruPtly influenced. There M ay
have been Individual cases Of the sort on
both side4-i ,ubtless there was-but the
csIored 2sOple as rule opposed it en-
PriucIpiS and disPssionate view of all
'he conditions makes their action appear
NEST natural, They may not hsve faith.
Oned the depths of the question. or
known much of the constitution and the
bill Of RICH ts-I refer, of coErse, to the
mRsses-but they are not far enough away
from the period of slavery to willingly
take any risks where a question of indi-
vidual liberty is in the re mstest degree
Involved. They are naturally jealous Of
any movement that locks in the direction
of AsrIdging their rights-more So, natur-
ally, than the whites. And thIs reminds
nae, toe, that it is the rarest occurrence to
see celsred man who drinks 10 excess.
Most ali OF them drink, sumo Of them reg
uIariy, bat 1 believe never saw or heard
Of Oolorsd man who was an habitual
drunkArd. There will have to be a heap
Of thinking done by the ii nae the next con-
EeRtisns meet But mark this: The Re-
pu blican party will, in this case as it has
in all others, take the lead IN the right
direction and blaze out the road to =
glorious vistory and perfect rsmedy for
all our pr sent ills.
The wind up of the article from
which the above is clipped points
very clearly to a movement in the
Republican ranks to take stand
next ye lr for prohibition in some
firm.

ings of this dIctatorial class. You
know whether you are a Democrat

a prohibitiouist is just as so u i
test Of Democracy, as bsing against
it. In fact the vote for prohi bition
in Hardeman was almost entirely
from the Democratic ranks. The
Bulletin is never disposed t. rail out

ietin believes that thsse Democrats
who advocated Federal AID to cdu-
